My new A-hole wanted ad

OK, so, the nice "WANTED" ad placed locally was only getting me a bunch of flakes and people wanting insane prices for their junk. So, I came up with this very smartassy ad:

"WANTED: Working or not, radio's, record player's, and stereo's that were made between the 1930's and the 1960's. Also interested in older TV's made between the 1940's and the 1970's. Here's a general guideline for what I'll generally pay for this stuff: Old radios, $5 to $100 depending on exactly what you have, how old it is and what kind of condition it's in. Record players: $5 to $40 and price depends on what you have, how old it is, and it's overall condition. Cabinet model stereo's, $5 - $50 and price depends on what brand it is, how old it is, how good of condition it's in, and the amount of particleboard and/or plastic used in the construction of the cabinet. Particleboard/plastic is not a good thing and neither is the presence of an 8-track tape player and such stereo's rank at the bottom on the "how much I'll pay" ladder. TV's, $5-$25, depending on condition and what you have. Oh, and I don't buy "sentimental value", either. I'm happy that you have fond memories of Grandma playing Lawrence Welk and Andy Williams records on it; but, I'm not buying your memories. Sorry if I sound like a horse's butt; but, far too many people have been watching too much "American Pickers" or they see some clown on ebay or CL ASKING $5K for a console stereo and they suddenly think this stuff is worth more than what it actually is. So, if you have something that you think I may be interested in and are willing to be reasonable with the price; then, I'd love to hear from you."

I doubt it will get me many results and may even get me banned from the facebook page I placed it on; but, maybe it will get some of these flakes to see the light.
